Jeremy Corbyn gives the thumbs up after a successful night for the Labour leader

So, is there a chance this could all turn around for the Labour leader – and see him enter No 10?

The most likely way this could happen is if there is another election.

With a minority government now in place – as Theresa May didn’t secure the 326 seats needed to successfully pass legislation without other parties ganging up to oppose it – we could have another election again soon.

Theresa May was the victor in the last Tory leadership election – but could be forced out

And with the lukewarm support from the DUP today – that seems even more likely.

The PM said earlier that she would work together with the DUP, with whom the party has “enjoyed a strong relationship over many years” – and that she would pull Britain together “to secure a successful Brexit deal that works for everyone”.

The Northern Ireland party’s leader, Arlene Foster, later gave a press conference, but was a little cooler than Mrs May in her language.

She said: “The PM spoke with me this morning and we will enter discussions with Conservatives to explore how it may be possible to bring stability to the UK at a time of great challenge.”
